In the Voronezh Region, federal road workers continue construction on the R-22 "Caspian" highway (access to Saratov) from km 444 to 459, bypassing Borisoglebsk. The work is scheduled for completion in 2029, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"Road bypasses help relieve congestion on the road network, divert transit traffic outside the city limits, and facilitate more convenient and faster freight delivery, saving travel time. Such bypasses are especially important on federal highways, where traffic is particularly heavy. The R-22 "Caspian" highway (access to Saratov) is important for the economy, logistics, and tourism of several regions in the Central and Volga Federal Districts. It provides a popular transport corridor for freight and passenger traffic. Construction of the Borisoglebsk bypass on this highway began in September, during which time approximately 3,000 cubic meters of excavation have been completed and over 77,000 cubic meters of fill have been filled. Completion of the new facility is scheduled for 2029. It will improve transport accessibility and connectivity within the Voronezh Region, as well as strengthen trade and economic ties with neighboring regions," said Marat Khusnullin.
The new four-lane bypass road will be 15 km long. The roadway will be 14 meters wide, with a 3-meter median. Road workers will construct four mixed-level interchanges with overpasses. Additionally, a 30-span, 1-kilometer-long bridge will be built over the Vorona River.
As Roman Novikov, head of the Federal Road Agency, noted, the work undertaken will improve road safety and the capacity of a key transport artery—the R-22 "Caspian" access road to Saratov, a major economic, cultural, and educational center in the Volga region.
The city streets of Borisoglebsk, home to approximately 58,000 people, will be cleared of transit traffic, amounting to more than 12,000 vehicles per day, which will also have a positive impact on the environment.
